4 Great Things About WWE's Conspiracy Angle

The ever-evolving "WWE Conspiracy" angle has picked up the pace and is going full speed ahead, with plenty of untold twists and turns ahead of us leading up to Survivor Series.

The angle evolved from Kevin Nash's involvement in CM Punk vs. John Cena at SummerSlam, to a mystery text message, to Triple H vs. CM Punk.  That chain of events is even more strange to look at in retrospect when you realize where the angle is at now. 

Rather than fizzling out, the angle has had new life breathed into it, and it appears to be the perfect angle to carry the company until Survivor Series. 

There are plenty of positives about the angle, many of which get overlooked by jaded members of the IWC.  The grass is greener on this side of the fence, and this list of the four great things about the conspiracy angle will show you why.

The Best Manager Today Expands Her Stable

Vickie Guerrero has more heat than 80 percent of the heels in the WWE, and that's a low estimate.  

She just has "it," from her stage presence, to the ever-effective "Excuse me!!!"

This conspiracy angle has allowed for her to expand her roster, and even though she only officially manages United States Champion Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger, she's prominently featured alongside the heel faction which consists of David Otunga, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, Christian and WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio.

When the faction is out in force, she's there in the corner getting more heat than all of them put together, like a champ. 

This is one of the great things about this angle because the art of being a manager in WWE is almost completely forgotten, and Vickie may very well be convincing the company to expand on managers.  

Not to mention that it'd be disastrous for this heel faction to go out and kill the crowd every time they cut a promo.  Having Vickie there insures that there will be heat and if they can pull it off, that heat can rub off on the others. 

Don't be surprised if Vickie leaves this angle with an additional name or two added to her clientele.

David Otunga Avoids Falling into Obscurity

The former Nexus member and Harvard Law graduate, David Otunga survived an outright burial from Jerry Lawler and has found a new gimmick and role in the WWE Universe.

As the heel faction's legal council, Otunga is key to the conspiracy angle.  

This is a great thing because personally, I don't believe Otunga is nearly as talentless as Jerry Lawler would have had us believe when he was calling his matches, or even wrestling with him.  If Otunga can't shine in a role that is so true to himself, a lawyer, then so be it, but I think he's doing well thus far.

Sorry, Michael McGillicutty, not everyone can be at the right place at the right time.

The WWE Walkout on Monday Night Raw

The majority of WWE employees walked out of Raw this past Monday night, giving WWE COO Triple H a vote of no confidence. 

Although there were certain plot holes, like Mark Henry being present, which made no sense considering how he is the monster heel who doesn't care about authority and is actually the one who injured Jerry Lawler, I still thought the segment overall was well-produced and compelling.

More so than the physical walkout, I'm excited about where this leaves us on Raw.  Triple H has said that CM Punk, John Cena, Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show will be there, and that he won't be stepping down.

The superstars that walked out are likely to be protesting the show this coming Monday, which I'm very interested in seeing.  Whether or not WWE can pull it off remains to be seen, but the doors that have opened up makes the walkout one of the great things to spawn from the conspiracy angle.

WWE Shows Patience with CM Punk

There's been a lot of buzz about how CM Punk has been put on the back burner in the conspiracy angle, which developed from his classic "shoot" promo.

Although I'm a huge CM Punk fan, and I'd love to see him as the main man 24/7, there's something to be said for WWE's patience with him.

Punk's part in the angle was blown when Kevin Nash got involved.  Nash and Punk didn't have the synergy that Punk and Triple H had, and then when Nash finally started acting like a seven-foot monster rather than sparring on the mic with Punk, he failed his physical and got written off.

With so much time dedicated to Punk, but interest fizzling, WWE cashed out with the Triple H/Punk feud and wrapped it up at Night of Champions.  The original intent was to give that feud a slow build, so it's not as if WWE's first choice was to wrap things up so suddenly.

Now, we know that Punk has become No. 1 in merchandise sales, and it should speak volumes that they've chosen to let the conspiracy angle play out to Survivor Series without forcing Punk to the forefront to cash out on his popularity until the well runs dry. 

With Punk on the back burner but still in the picture, he's now positioned to make a run when the conspiracy angle has played out and the field will be wide open for him.

This, in my opinion, is the greatest thing about the conspiracy angle because despite WWE's history of forcing round pegs into square holes, they've shown that they're wise enough to pull back when it's called for.  Could it be that WWE is learning, and changing?
